Nathan's class went on a field trip to the old state penitentiary and historical museum today. All afternoon he has been rattling off (non-stop, I might add) little factoids about Idaho history and the old prison. That child has an awesome memory and a great love of all things nostalgic and historic. Now if he would just apply that in the classroom.

Eagles Nationwide Arena, Columbus 5 March 2014 When I heard the Eagles were coming to town on their History of the Eagles tour, I decided this would be the time to go. With a tour of that name, Joe Walsh had to be involved and I've been a fan of his since high school. Joe actually lived in Columbus for a number of years, until he was 12, on Summit Street near OSU. He returned to Ohio a few years later to attend Kent State University where he connected with Jimmy Fox and joined Fox's band the James Gang. The first time I saw Walsh perform was with the James Gang at the 1971 Ohio State Fair grandstands shortly before his acrimonious departure from the band. I recall watching him get into a brief fist fight just before taking the stage, which was set up on the infield of the race track. It was a great show that can easily be relived since their Live in Concert album was released shortly after and featured the same music. I could not have imagined on that summer day in 1971 that I would ...

Just watched a documentary called "Serving Life" on Netflix. All I can say is wow. There are a lot of inmates that are serving life at the Louisiana State Penitentiary that end up dying there and the warden put together a hospice care system that involves the inmates to volunteer and help through the dying process. It was crazy how these people went from murders and such to people that were caring for the terminally ill.

So, my hubby gave me a few choices for our next short vacation. Can't go to rabbit island, so it is either one of my sister in laws favorite places in Colorado, or a round about way to Pennsylvania, to visit Eastern State Penitentiary ! Yes, I am odd. looking into if the Colorado place has antique shops and a brewery. Hard to beat an old prison! Ok Beth Steiger.., what do you think? (20 to 1 she picks Colorado, like any sane person would! Lol)

Please understand my statement below indicates that I am with privileges in our local hospitals. I understand I am a victim in these matters as it is implied I lost my privileges in both hospitals due to mental disease. I am being set when these issues are implied and I was in good standing until the presidents office decided to portray me as an incoherent individual, though it is clear the antecedents were that I was misportrayed there in the closed meetings of the hospitals and further there was no independent inquiry of my conduct in court setting, when they decided to suspended my privileges there at Regional hospital of Jackson. Though it was indicated in their letter to me that I took a voluntary leave of absence, it was only after he threatened to suspend my privileges and report me to the national data bank of practicing physicians. Please understand people are upset, as I am right when I state these things. I also indicate our role as reformers occur, as we maintain our role, in matters pending i ...

MEANING OF VYBZ KARTEL TEAR DROPS-Teardrop tattoo - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The teardrop tattoo or tear tattoo is a symbolic tattoo that is placed underneath the eye. According to "the Devil's Back porch" a book about serving 1927 to 1957 in Kansas State Penitentiary, it denoted a member of "The Old Fraternity" referring to the Biblical Cain who slew his brother.[1][2] But, almost all meanings (see below) have some connection to prison. In a 2008 interview with Blender, Rapper Lil Wayne said of his four teardrop tattoos: "Lord, forgive me". He did not say what he was asking forgiveness for. Wayne has spent 8 months in a city jail.

SALAZAR LIED TO 107TH COURT TO EXPUNGE RECORD By Juan Montoya When current Brownsville Independent School District counsel Baltazar Salazar applied with the district to be its legal counsel, he never admitted he had been arrested and charged with three felony offenses of theft by check. According to court records, on at least one – 85-CR-23 (April 26, 1984) – he was tried and convicted and sentenced to three years in the state penitentiary, probated to seven years. And as if that wasn't bad enough, he asked the 107th District court on April 24, 2012 – a year before he applied to be the BISD counsel – to expunge his criminal record to include not only that case, but also two the two other theft by check charges, 83-CR-416 (January 15, 1983) and 85-CR-450 (April 26, 1984). Represented by his attorney Noe Garza, Salazar swore under oath that he had never been convicted because the statute of limitations had expired and that he had been released, that the charge had not resulted in a final conviction, ...

Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie was released from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola a little less than two weeks ago and already the Southern wordsmith is 35 percent finished with his next studio album.

REP. HAVEMEN TO ATTEND HFP FORUM The office of State Representative Joe Haveman (R-Holland) has advised the Humanity for Prisoners office that he plans to attend the public forum to discuss providing hospice care in Michigan prisons for dying inmates. Haveman is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and has expressed a keen interest in the plight of Michigan prisoners. The program is scheduled for Monday, March 31, so that persons in attendance will be able to review the premiere showing of the HBO documentary PRISON TERMINAL: THE LAST DAYS OF PRIVATE JACK HALL.

Louisiana inmate exonerated after 30 years on death row By E.P. Bannon 18 March 2014 Louisiana’s longest-serving death row inmate walked free after a judge ordered his release last Tuesday on the grounds that he was innocent. Glenn Ford, 64, was held in the brutal Angola penitentiary for 30 years for a crime he did not commit. He was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1984 and was sentenced to death by electrocution. Now a free man, he expressed joy over his release but lamented being robbed of so many years of his life. “I’ve been locked up almost 30 years for something I didn’t do,” Ford said. “I can’t go back and do anything I should have been doing when I was 35, 38, 40.” His son, an infant at the time of his incarceration, is now a grown man with children of his own. Ford was convicted of the murder of Isadore Rozeman, 58, who operated a small jewelry and watch repair shop in Shreveport, Louisiana. Rozeman had been in his shop on the afternoon of November 5, 1983 when an intruder shot ...

I just watched a documentary titled, Serving Life. Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola is a maximum security prison with approximately 5,000 offenders, and the average sentence is 93 years. Eighty-five percent of offenders will die in the Angola prison. Therefore, the prison opened a hospice unit to accommodate the aging population. The inmates have an opportunity to apply as a caregiver. As a caregiver, they bathe, feed, do transfers, change diapers, be a friend, etc., and there is always some by the side of the inmates when they die. It is an opportunity for offenders to give back and learn to be compassionate. As the warden stated, it is a chance for the inmates to stop solely caring about self; thus finding redemption and rehabilitation through caring for and about others. In addition to the hospice care, the offenders grow much of their own food, and all of them have some type of job. With these implementations by the warden, violence has decreased over 70%. Many of men commented about f ...

I am intrigued by the old houses of Moundsville, WV. They are "zero lots" for the most part and most are at least two stories tall. Moundsville is named for the Grave Creek Indian Mound that is just across the street from the WV State Penitentiary. Moundsville was settled in 1771 and incorporated in 1830, so many of these houses are historic. Woody drove me up the mountain toward the job today so I could get some good shots of Moundsville. I asked, "Don't you think this is pretty, Woody?" His reply always, "I don't see a *** thing pretty about it." Spoken by a man who needs to retire...

One random thought. Was watching the movie The Lady and there's one scene that showed the bird-view of the prison in Burma where Suu Kyi's colleagues were detained. The architecture resembles the Eastern State Penitentiary which makes sense since the presentation board at ESP mentioned that many prisons were modeled after it. It's amazing these things I learned all come together.

High school, society's bright idea to put all the naive, pubescent, aggressive youth into one environment to torment and emotionally scar each other for life. Way to go, society! Best idea ever When I stop to think about it, there aren't many differences between a public high school and a state penitentiary. It's paid for by taxpayers. No one wants to be there. It's overpopulated. You make alliances in the yard. Shanking is frowned upon. - struck by lightning Loving this book

Finally Done Favorite American Serial Killers 1. Theodore Robert "Ted" Bundy - (born Theodore Robert Cowell; November 24, 1946 – January 24, 1989) was an American serial killer, rapist, kidnapper, and necrophile who assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. After more than a decade of denials, he confessed shortly before his execution to 30 homicides committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978; the true total remains unknown, and could be much higher. After escaping prison twice, Ted Bundy died in the electric chair at Raiford Prison in Starke, Florida, on January 24, 1989. 2. Edward Theodore "Ed" Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984) was an American murderer and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. Gein confessed to killing two women ...

Haunted History: The Old State Penitentiary of Boise Idaho If you live in one area long enough you will eventually hear tales of the local paranormal activity and manifestations. Boise Idaho has its fair share of hauntings. If you are ever in the area and would like to try your hand at supernatural investigating the following information may be helpful to you. The Old Idaho State Penitentiary located at 2445 Old Penitentiary Road is a well-known local historical land mark and haunt. Tours of the prison grounds and buildings are offered daily, with the exception of certain holidays. Originally built as a territorial prison in 1870, it consisted of a single cell-house. Over the years, in order to house the growing number of convicts it became necessary to expand. The prisoners constructed a great deal of the prison facilities themselves. Buildings were added and additions were made, including death row, a gallows and a solitary confinement area known as Siberia. The convicts also quarried the sandstone and ...

Hanging was the virtually universal method of execution in America up to the 1890's and was the sole form permitted by the original constitution. A few states used shooting during the 19th century, notably California and Oklahoma and most Utah executions from 1852 were by firing squad. Hanging became progressively less commonly used through the 20th century, as many states adopted the electric chair or the gas chamber, as supposedly more humane alternatives to it. However there were 2718 hangings between 1900 and 1967. Approximately 9320 people have been executed by judicial hanging from 1622 to the present day, most being hanged in public and usually drawing a large crowd of spectators. Many of these executions are detailed in the Watt Epsy files and the majority were for murder, although 487 men were hanged for rape in 23 states between 1800 and 1961 when John Bennett became the last in Kansas on April 13 of that year. Up to the end of the nineteenth century, hangings were mostly local events and not .. ...

Lakin's Flame: The Artwork of Leighton Rich Prehistoric Indian Village in Mitchell hosted a compilation of 116 original pencil and pen pieces created by the late Lakota artist Leighton Rich.Leighton created these modern masterpieces of Lakota ledger art while languishing for two years in the administrative segregation unit of the South Dakota State Penitentiary. Marletta Pacheco, Leighton's aunt, and founder of the South Dakota Prisoner Support Group, spoke eloquently and strongly concerning Leighton. She humanized him. Leighton committed suicide on March 17,2001.Following the reception, we were treated to a 15 minute fireworks display set to the music of Annie Humphrey, courtesy of Allstar Fireworks of Mitchell, S.D.Annie Humphrey, the award winning and popular Anishinaabe singer/songwriter shared her music with us for about an hour, accompanying Annie was her mother Ann Dunne, who told a traditional story which brought humor to the event.

Officer’s Death Created Furor Sunday April 12, 1959 The slaying in 1926 of Clarence Maines, popular young Bristol Tennessee police officer, attracted as much attention as any crime in the history of the Twin City. Jake Shankle, 65-year old sawmill operator, was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in the penitentiary. I It was 5 p.m. , Saturday, Oct. 24, 1936, when Maines a young man known for his clean living and courteous manners, arrested Shankle at Pap’s Alley, (Commerce Street) and State Street, on a public drunkenness charge. He either failed to search or overlooked a pistol on the person of the big, Shaggy-eyebrowed Shankle. Shankle was a man who boasted he went to school only five months, yet was a writer of sorts – “letters to the editor” and articles against prohibition- and could quote accurately from the Bible and classics. Patrolman Maines started Shankle afoot toward the city jail on Eight Street, less than three blocks from the site of the arrest. As they crossed Beaver . ...

How so Mr. Shakur. I also wish to meet the baddest men and women you know, in America murderes, ex convicts, gangsters, killers who will kill someday, and so on, men and women from every state penitentiary in America from Alcatraz to Rhykers Island. I wish to measure their cruelty with mine. In my opinion the original Sin of Mankind that Your Forbears were guilty off was really committed by Your God and in my opinion sir that includes every God in Heaven and Earth. I present myself to you Sir as a leper, because I feel safe with them by my side. They ask nothing of me and I can ask nothing from them. Iblis or the great Satan is free. I cry that Iblis committed no crime. The crime Sir was commited by Your God in Heaven. I have said Iblis thou art free to depart from the Cathedral of *** and give me all your powers that Your god gave you for all the years of your life in *** and go freely with your tribe in every season.

The enemy is attempting to take my mind back to a place in Mississippi State Penitentiary where violence was the only appropriate answer to something like this. I was there over 5 years, I wasn't in a gang, and NOBODY ever took ANYTHING from me without paying a price for it. I thank God for allowing me to realize just how near our "old" man is and just how desperate he is to show himself.not this time though.

The Louisiana State Penitentiary (LSP, also known as Angola, and nicknamed the "Alcatraz of the South" and "The Farm") is a prison farm in Louisiana operated by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. It is the largest maximum security prison in the United States with 5,000 offenders and 1,800 staff. It is located on an 18,000-acre (7,300 ha) property that was previously the Angola and other plantations owned by Isaac Franklin in unincorporated West Feliciana Parish, directly adjacent to the Mississippi state line. The prison is located at the end of Louisiana Highway 66, around 22 miles (35 km) northwest of St. Francisville. Angola is bordered on three sides by the Mississippi River. As of 2012 Burl Cain is the warden. The State of Louisiana's death row for men and the state execution chamber are there. In the State of Louisiana the names "Louisiana State Penitentiary" and "Angola," the name of the post office that serves the prison, are used interchangeably.

Why dont we ask the person that put her hand on the Holy Bible tp protect "all" massachusetts citizens ("maybe that discludes inmates?") Why, when she recieved numerous letters, emails and a personal visit to the office she is now working at, ask her why she nothing to help the hundreds of inmates serving a Reformatory sentence in a penitentiary because the prison system illegally abolished the reformatory in 1980 "WITHOUT TELLING THE COURT SYSTEM OR LEGISLATURE?" Over 25 sentences a year from 1980 to 1994 to the reformatory were from District Courts who do not even have authority to put an offender in the State Penitentiary yet an "ADMINISTRATIVE" branch does? Moreover, the Reformatory was a maximum security prison for all sentences from Superior or Distric so how do they justify transfering any reformatory inmate to the maximum prison for those offenders sentenced to die in prison? You got one inmate in for stealing a car celling with an inmate who killed a women robbing her store? Is she being run by L ...

3 Lewis County deaths eyed for links to Green River case Show Caption By KOMO Staff & Associated Press Sep 24, 2013 CENTRALIA, Wash. - Authorities said they are looking at three cold case homicides in Lewis County from the 1980s and '90s for possible connections to the Green River serial killings. Investigators have uncovered nothing specific to link the deaths of the three women to Gary Ridgway, but the crimes have common elements, sheriff's Sgt. Dusty Breen told The Chronicle in a story Friday. "There is some interest in the victimology that may be associated with Gary Ridgway based on where the victims where the victims went missing from and similarities to their lifestyles," Breen told KOMO NewsRadio. The victims disappeared from Pierce and King counties and were transients or involved in prostitution or drugs. Their bodies were dumped near Interstate 5 in Lewis County. Ridgway, 64, pleaded guilty to killing 49 women in King County. He was spared the death penalty under a deal with King County prosecu ...

I wanna go to the state penitentiary this year with a group of friends for Halloween!

The Drunkard's Best Friend Nine years ago the Post reported on the then-obscure group known as Alcoholics Anonymous. Since that time these self-rehabilitated men-and women-have sobered up an astonishing number of America's heaviest drinkers. This is how they do it. by Jack Alexander The Saturday Evening Post, April 1, 1950 When a farmer in Aroostook County, Maine announces that he is going to bake a cake, he is speaking figuratively. What he means is that he is bored with the loneliness of Aroostook's vast reaches, with the county's most famous product, potatoes, and with life in general; and that, to relieve his boredom, he is going on a vanilla-extract bender. In order to buy liquor he might have to drive as much as a hundred miles over drifted or rutted roads, to reach a town uninhibited by local option. He tipples on vanilla, which is rich in alcohol, because it is easily and legally obtainable, in quantity, at the nearest grocery store. Grocers in local-option towns ordinarily do a thriving vanilla b ...

TROUBLE BREWING ALONG THE TRACKS BY F. KEITH DAVIS GILBERT, W.Va. - It was early June 1898 and Johnse Hatfield had recently returned home from life on the run in the Great Northwest (avoiding bounty hunters and detectives) to the familiar—to the Appalachian Mountains of southern West Virginia. Once considered the most conceited, unpredictable, and unstable member of the Hatfield clan, he was reestablishing himself in the lucrative timber business as a successful entrepreneur; and after a disastrous romance with Roseanna McCoy and a couple of failed marriages (like Roseanna’s cousin Nancy McCoy and Rebecca Browning), Johnse was now flourishing in a new, stable family. He was now the husband of a levelheaded local woman, Roxie Browning. He was overseeing a growing lumber camp in Mingo County, near the Guyandot River at the Leatherwood Shoals region east of the town of Gilbert, West Virginia. Although the property technically belonged to the Browning family, Johnse owned and operated the logging camp. It ...

James-Younger Gang From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Jesse and Frank James, 1872 The James-Younger Gang was a notable 19th-century gang of American outlaws that included Jesse James. The gang was centered in the state of Missouri. Membership fluctuated from robbery to robbery, as the outlaws' raids were usually separated by many months. At various times, it included the Younger Brothers (Cole, Jim, John, and Bob), the James Brothers (the infamous Jesse James and his brother Frank), Clell Miller, Arthur McCoy, Charlie Pitts, John Jarrette (who was married to Cole's sister Josie), Bill Chadwell (alias Bill Stiles), and Matthew "Ace" Nelson. Contrary to frequent reports, the James brothers and Younger brothers were not related,[citation needed] at least not by blood. Starting in 1879, after the demise of the James-Younger Gang, the James brothers committed further crimes with Clell Miller's brother Ed, the Ford brothers (Robert and Charles), Bill Ryan, *** Liddil, and the Hit ...

Beorta - To be more bold and to use the gifts I've been given to make a difference here. Brian - Please pray for my kids to have a better life than what I've lived as of today. Brad - For my parole hearing in September. Warren - For me to remain focused through my journey in prison and in life. Thanks for your prayers!

MIDLAND 101: GUN CARRY LAWS EXISTED IN MIDLAND AS EARLY AS 1885. With an increase in gun violence in recent months, stricter gun control laws have also been an increased topic of debate. Threats to the Second Amendment, real or imagined, do not sit well in many parts of the country. Many Texans, and more specifically, West Texans, bristle at the mere mention of having their guns taken away and their right to bear arms quashed. It is not a recent phenomenon by any stretch, however. Theo Ray, sheriff of Midland in 1885, was likely the first person to ever attempt to retrieve a citizen’s side arm in the newly formed town, although he arguably had sufficient cause, according to the November 17, 1932, edition of the Midland Reporter-Telegram. In 1885, a “reputed bad man from the Big Bend district,” disembarked a train that had just arrived in Midland and began strutting toward a local saloon. The man’s guns, the paper reported, were as prominent as his swagger. Sheriff Ray asked the man to leave his si ...

The GENOCIDE Treaty Only a national government has the power to produce “genocide,” which is the killing of an entire race of people. And only a government, when its troops invade other nations, can attempt to destroy an entire race outside of its borders. Neither an individual nor a group of individuals can commit genocide. And, if they try, they would quickly be jailed under already well-established criminal statutes. Thus we see that only nations can commit genocide, never individuals. Only a nation can blot out a race; an individual can only kill individuals. But now we have a new international law governing nearly every civilized nation on earth,—that is able to charge innocent citizens with “genocide” for having done something that a national government considers harmful to other religions! On December 11, 1946, the United Nations General Assembly voted unanimously to declare genocide as a crime under international law. Nearly a year later, on December 9, 1947, the same assembly unanimousl ...

Kimberley McCarthy was executed in Texas yesterday, the 500th person to be executed since the state reinstated in 1976. She was a black person. African-Americans are far more likely to be executed than whites in the US. However there are people who didn't support it decades ago and don't now. Warden R.F. Coleman gave to reporters on February 8, 1924, the day the official Texas Death House was inaugurated with the electrocution of five African-American men. Said Coleman then, "It just couldn't be done, boys. A warden can't be a warden and a killer, too. The penitentiary is a place to reform a man, not to kill him." Warden Coleman resigned rather than pull the switch.

Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel in New Jersey but ending the life of one of the most brilliant individuals in American History. Burr later plotted supposedly treasonous acts here in Parkersburg on what is now Blennerhassett Island. Harman Blennerhassett was from Ireland. Chiefly to escape involvement in the United Irishmen's planned rebellion against British rule, but also to conceal his incestuous marriage, Blennerhassett emigrated to the United States in 1796. There, on the western Virginia frontier, he bought the upper half of an Ohio River island lying 1 1/2 miles downstream from what is now Parkersburg, West Virginia. It became the site of a European-style estate whose centerpiece was an enormous mansion surrounded by extravagantly landscaped lawns and gardens. For a brief period, the Blennerhassetts' home became famous as the largest, most beautiful private residence in the American West. Blennerhassett's estate on a large island in the Ohio River, a few miles below Parkersburg, W.V . ...

Calif pays 72 cents tax now per gallon. Just raised again. Our benevolent elected officials love us so much and are so aware that times are tough, so they raise parking rates, water rates, electric rates, beach visit rates, gas rates, fire cops and firemen, teachers and threaten us with services cutbacks and they raise their pay checks!

I'm wondering if anyone will agree with my idea designed to get the corruption out of politics so we can get things done right. It's something I've been thinking about for a couple years and is included in my response to Senator Merkley's email informing us that there was money set aside to hire Oregonians to do timber work but the contractors used that money to hire from outside the country. Jeff informed us he included legislation to put an end to this in the immigration reform bill that's currently moving forward. Dear Senator Merkley, The Oregon jobs thing was and is ridiculous. Thank you for doing something about it. Unfortunately it's not all that surprising. Greed and/or self serving agenda's are all to common in politics and have become ridiculously extreme. One good example is the Hanford nuclear contract disaster. If what I learned from OPB or something like Dateline is correct the contractor(s) went way over budget, way past the deadlines. Even with all that extra time and money they couldn't g ...

BREAKING NEWS: Aaron Hernandez released by the New England patriots, now signing with Massachusetts State Penitentiary …

The reasons to leave CT are far too numerous to list here, the high taxes, an overall retardation in government, a culture of corruption, lying, stealing, an exorbitant cost of living coupled with an entitlement mentality. Three times I have gained temporary employment when the employment rate was astronomical simply by pounding pavement and putting my name out there. That's not why I am leaving CT though. I am leaving CT for another culture, another perspective, one not so self-centered, arrogant and ignorant as the people of the East coast. A more rational train of thought, a more civil discourse, a region of the country who has long abandoned the destructive political correctness that is so rampant in the halls of idiocy that has flooded this State. I cannot think of a single reason why anybody would proclaim to be proud to be a Democrat in this State, or a Republican for that matter. I leave this state as an educated intellectual, knowing full well that it is better to be a Republican on a ...

I saw this and thought I'd Share, It appeared in the Macon, Ga. Newspaper. Interesting thoughts ! This appeared in the Macon, Ga. newspaper. 'Back when we wuz Negroes' By Charles E. Richardson Posted on Sun, Jul. 31, 2011 in the Macon Telegraph, Macon, GA. There was a time until the early 1960s when the terms to describe those of African decent, like me -- African-American or Black or Afro-American -- were almost unheard of. I remember a distinct conversation with a friend discussing descriptive terms for ourselves in 1963 or '64. The term "black" was just coming into vogue and he didn't like it one bit. "Call me a *** " he said, "but don't call me black." Now, the word *** (publications used a lower case "n") has almost become a pejorative, so I was a little surprised when my pastor, the Rev. Willie Reid, used it during Thursday's revival. "Back when we were Negroes," he said, and listed several things that were different about black life in America back then. That got me to thinking. Back when ...
